Special Olympics Pakistan also documented the event on its official Instagram account, highlighting the athletes' achievements and the spirit of the games.

"A total of 82 athletes from Sindh, Punjab, Balochistan, Federal, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan regions have stepped onto the field with great talent and the true spirit of inclusion. Every moment of the competition reflects the passion and dedication these incredible athletes bring to the game," the organisation wrote.

Reflecting on an earlier event in February, she wrote: "At Special Olympics Pakistan, we celebrate athletes who redefine courage, resilience, and possibility every single day. They don't just compete — they inspire a nation. They remind us that inclusion is not charity; it is justice. It is love in action."
